Do walls have to be perfectly smooth for peel-and-stick wallpaper?

• <div><p>Walls should be as smooth as possible before applying peel-and-stick wallpaper. Although you technically can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-you-put-wallpaper-on-textured-walls.htm">apply wallpaper on textured walls</a>, the peel-and-stick variety won’t last long without a clean, smooth surface for the adhesive to stick to. If you have textured walls, consult a pro about removing the textured finish before moving forward with wallpaper.</p></div>

Q: Why is my wallpaper not sticking to the wall?

• <div><p>The two most common reasons wallpaper does not stick are a lack of preparation and improper adhesive. Be sure to use the wallpaper paste designed for the type of paper you choose. Before beginning your project, make sure the walls are clean and free of dust, grease, and oils. </p></div>

Q: How long does wallpaper in a bathroom last?

• <div><p>Wallpaper in bathrooms can last anywhere from one to 10 years, depending on what type was used, how well it was installed, and the measures in place to reduce moisture and humidity levels. Opting for a more durable variety and taking all the necessary protective measures will get you closer to that longer lifespan. </p></div>

Q: How many coats of paint do paintable wallpapers need?

• <div><p>The color of the paint, its opacity, and the depth of the texture on the paper all affect how many coats of paint you need to apply to paintable wallpaper. You'll need at least two coats of paint to ensure even coverage. Don&rsquo;t be surprised if you need to apply three coats if the embossing is very deep or if you use a dark color.</p></div>

Q: Can I put up my own wallpaper?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s possible to hang your own wallpaper, but the process is tedious and potentially frustrating, and it can be challenging to get seams to line up and look clean and professional. Plus, depending on the type of wallpaper you&rsquo;re installing, using too much or too little adhesive could cause damage to your drywall or plaster, peeling, and bubbling in the final product. It&rsquo;s usually a better idea to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-questions-ask-when-hiring-wallpaper-pro.htm">hire a professional wallpaper installer</a> to do the work for you, as the relatively low cost is justifiable, if only to avoid damage to your walls.</p></div>

Did a good job installing drywall on a new wall. They were able to skim coat and texture 2 wall that had been previously painted over wallpaper with border at the ceiling, and made it look as though there never was any wallpaper there. Amazing!

This was the most fantastic experience. I purchased a home that was completely covered in 20 year old wallpaper. All the advice I had received was to just cover over it because removal would be expensive. I called Tom and the second he walked in the door he had a plan. My walls are...

I think the owner, who gave me the estimate, meant well but put me off right off the bat. While I was telling him what I wanted to do in that bathroom, which was fairly clear in my head, he kept trying to suggest ways that wouldn't involve actual replacement of components, even though I told him...

We purchased our house in Keizer and took possession on July 13th. The house was full of gaudy, flowered wallpaper that best fit an early American home. Needless to say, it was not of our liking. We were given Gordy's number by our real estate agent and told that he does wonders with wallpaper. ...

The only difference was in the final cost being more a little more than provided. But, it was well justified in the difficulty of removing the wallpaper. A joy to work with. Don

Michael removed the wallpaper (I started to remove) in a small bathroom, then prepped a messy wall in another bath and installed new paper in both rooms. I know the prep took longer than he thought, because he had some sheetrock repair, had to skim-coat an entire wall, and at the end I threw...

THe painting crew did an excellant job. However when they bid the wallpaper they bid it by $60.00 an hour. I assumed they would remove the wallpaper with a steamer. Instead they brought in a crew of 3-4 who removed the wallpaper BY HAND!!! It took them considerably longer than what should've...
